Julie's Creative Stamping: Best Butterflies & Brick and Mortar

Welcome to my blog! I hope you like butterflies because this card come from a new suite by Stampin UP® called Butterfly Kisses! Now the Designer Series Paper is very bright and makes you smile but I wanted to make a card for all my purple lovers out there!

I know its hard to see but I used the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder on the Basic White piece on the front of this card. I could not get a good picture of it but in person it looks stunning!

Below you will find the card cuts, instructions, supply list and a link to a video I did for this card and one other using the brighter colors! Enjoy!
